We all do it, but if you find yourself using words such as “uh,” “um” and “like” excessively – uh, like, twice a sentence -- you need to stop. You’re probably just talking too quickly. Think before you speak. Waiting an extra split-second before you open your mouth will make you seem more articulate. And take a breath. Great public speakers talk slowly and deliberately. Speak at a more measured pace, and you’ll have an easier time holding people’s attention.
